ABSTRACT
The huge measure of modern waste as expanded step by step and transfer
turns into an intense issue. it is important to use the steel slag waste. Steel slag
is a result gotten from steel industry. It is created as a buildup during the
generation of steel. Due to the high transfer cost as a waste material and the
general positive highlights of steel slag, it has been pronounced a valuable
development material. The measure of age is around 24 lacs mt for every year
from various steel ventures in the india. The growing needs for fully furnished
highways in the developed countries has led engineers to search for the
durable cost effective measure for roadway construction. The basic necessity
for suitable base course for roads is an important aspect in construction. The
paper aims at utilizing the common waste materials for the improvement of
roads. One such material that was analyzed in the paper for the execution of
road work is the steel slag which is furnished in tones in the steel factories
across the country. The use of the material is found to have improved the sub
grade properties of soil to a good extent.
KEYWORDS: Steel slag, Soil stabilization, Specific gravity, Liquid limit, Plastic
limit, Plasticity index, Optimum moisture content, Maximum dry density, Standard
proctor, CBR.

INTRODUCTION
Soil adjustment is that term wherein engineering properties
of soil are changed with the assistance of another material
and improve the designing properties of soil. Need of soil
adjustment is a result of greater structures, overwhelming
versatility, railroad tracks and poor quality nature of soil and
so forth. All things considered if soil surface isn't sufficient
with the goal that will be reason for mishap. In present
because of progress in modern territories just as progress in
their wastages and their wastages can be utilized as
stabilizer admixture. To improve quality of soil, add a few
admixtures so as to improve the designing properties of soil.
There are numerous admixture are generally utilized as
stabilizer like fly powder, cement, lime, slag, stone residue
and so forth.
Iron ore are rocks and minerals from which metal iron can
be economically extracted. The ores are commonly rich in
iron oxides and vary in coloration from darkish gray , vibrant
yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. Iron ore is the raw
material used to make pig iron, that is one of the primary
uncooked materials to make steel.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Shubham More , Apekshah Lokhande (2018) In modern
days , the disposal problem of industrial waste is rapidly
increasing. Such, hazardous waste is affecting the
environment as well as land. The overall program was
conducted in 2 phase. In first phase all necessary test such as

Atterberg limit, CBR and standard proctor compaction test
on plain soil were being performed to analyse the maximum
dry density and optimum moisture content. And in second
phase the black cotton soil was mixed with
5%,10%,15%,20% of steel slag.

The modern development in the use of highly developed
composites in the upgrading of soil is growing on the basis of
specific necessities and national desires. The necessitate of
well-organized and strengthening techniques of Provided
soil has led to studies and development of more recent
substances for development. Commonly for black cotton soil
which have high swelling and shrinkage dispositions, needs
brilliant deal of focus for stabilization. Different strategies
are existing for stabilization of black cotton soil. Here as a
similarly steps towards the modern fabric to be used for
stabilization, the look at goings-on to apply commercial
waste material like Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) iron
dust and dolime first-class for the soil upgrading.

present time, engineers must face dissimilar kinds of issues
like assemble heavy shape, heavy mobility. But a few places
on this planet soil have bad engineering properties like
horrible workability, low bearing capability and sturdy
compressibility. So in arrange to get better the energy of soil,

insert a few stabilizers. The aim of this look at is to get better
the engineering houses of clayey soil using metal slag.
Specimens are ready to know the residences of soil with
percent of four%, eight%, 12%, sixteen% and 20% metallic
slag combination permitted through 180 micron and three
hundred micron sieve. Standard proctor take a look at,
unconfined compressive energy, liquid limit and plastic limit
tests are done to take a look at compressive electricity,
Maximum dry density (MDD) and greatest moisture content
(OMC) of soil aggregate.
3. PLASTIC LIMIT
Plastic limit, at 0% slag the value is 34.94% and at 12% its
value decreases to 24.41%. The decreasing value confirm the
reduction of plasticity and increase of density of soil and
hence the soil stabilized.
III.
EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
1. SPECIFIC GRAVITY
The specific gravity at 0% slag was found to be 2.47 and its
value kept on increasing upto 8% slag which was observed
as 3.36 and then it gradually decreased to 3.22 and 3.03 at
10% and 12% slag respectively. So the optimum value of slag
use for attainment of highest specific gravity is 8% in the
soil.
4. PLASTICITY INDEX
Plasticity index, at 0% slag the value is 9.32% and at 12% its
value decreases to 5.79%.
2. LIQUID LIMIT
The value percentage of liquid limit kept on decreasing with
the increase in slag percentage from 45.2% at 0 percent slag
to 29.92% at 12 percent slag. This is obvious of the fact that
soil becomes dense on the addition of slag hence a natural
decrease in liquid limit of soil.
5. PROCTOR COMPACTION TEST
The optimum moisture content OMC kept on decreasing all
the way through with the value of 19.26% at 0% slag and
14.15% at 12% slag, the analysis above 12% was not
conducted due to thought that it would be impractical to use
such a large quantities of slag in subgrade keeping in view
cost-availability-workability factor.
The maximum dry density of the fresh sample was observed
as 1.51 and with the increase percentage of slag the dry
density was found to be 1.72 at 12%. Since OMC decreased
with in slag percentage, it was inevitable that MDD would
hike up.

6. CBR TEST
CBR value were not uniform in any case , the fresh sample of
soil showed 7% CBR value, the value increased to
7.7%,8.2%,8.7% and 9% at 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% slag
respectively. It then showed decreasing trend with the value
of 8.7% at 10% slag. Hence the percentage of slag to be used
was confirmed at 8% for the alluvial soil in the area cause
they all have same behavior and properties.

FUTURE SCOPE OF STUDY
The growing needs of furnished highways in developing
countries has led to the conclusions to use the cheaper,
readily available , and strong stabilizing agents. India is fast
growing in economic sectors due to the ever increasing
industries and increase in number of foreign investors. To
back these sectors the approachability is an important
aspect that governs the proper running of the units at the
desired pace and customer demands to achieve the optimum
feasibility. The road and road conditions are the basic links
in the economical development of the nation and conditions
of the roads are improved to the desired effect by the
stabilization techniques mentioned in the paper.
